In reply to the discussion: So Cenk Uhgur is a sexist jerk... [View all]alp227
(32,015 posts)144. Cenk's comments about teenage girls are even worse in comparison.

Do you think Buddy Roemer "influenced" Cenk to attack Democrats? Given the media landscape, the choice was either take that money or make TYT a pay-per-view show.
